Integral points in orbits in characteristic $p$

Abstract: We prove a characteristic p version of a theorem of Silverman on integral points in orbits over number fields and establish a primitive prime divisor theorem for polynomials in this setting. We provide some applications of these results, including a finite index theorem for arboreal representations coming from quadratic polynomials over function fields of odd characteristic.

“…It is worth pointing out that Theorem 1.3 implies that the forward orbit of any wandering point contains only finitely many polynomials (corresponding to the number of n such that deg(b n ) = 0). This finiteness statement also follows from recent work in [6], though the result above is much stronger. On the other hand, the assumptions in [6] are weaker and the results there apply more generally to function fields K/F p (t) and to more general notions of integral points.…”

“…We point out here that an analog of Theorem 4.6 also holds for function fields of curves; see [11,38] for the case of characteristic 0 and p. Here we need to assume that ϕ is not isotrivial. THEOREM 4.7.…”

“…Remarkably though, the reason for the said failure is arithmetic. Our proof of Theorem 1.3 relies on results concerning integral points in orbits, established by Silverman [50,Theorem B] over number fields and in [11,38] for function fields of characteristic zero and p respectively. These allow us to generate infinitely many primitive divisors of certain dynamical sequences, which in turn yield measures corresponding to non-archimedean places with non-trivial potentials.…”
